MISSION VALLEY  Two lanes of eastbound Friars Road in front of the Fashion Valley mall were expected to be closed until about 7 p.m. after a water main break flooded the street Tuesday morning, a San Diego city official said.

Gushing water was reported about 10:15 a.m. near Bloomingdale’s and flooded about 10 feet of the road, authorities said.

A six-inch concrete water main broke and crews will need to excavate the street to fix the broken pipe, said Brent Eidson, spokesman for the public utilities department.

The P. F. Chang’s and The Container Store in the mall complex were without water for about three hours, Eidson said. The rest of the mall was unaffected.
